Yesterday evening, the police visited four hospitals in Brooklyn — said АВС7.

«It is not easy to get sick at any time of the year. But it is especially hard during the holidays, when everyone gathers families,» says Lisa Marchese, the mother of one of the patients of the emergency Department. «My daughter was so happy to see spider-Man and Captain America. She loves them.»

«I feel special,» adds the girl, grace.

Santa and his «the Avengers» for the evening gave more than 400 gifts. «I think that’s what a COP should do in addition to their direct duties. Want to be for kids to be real superheroes,» explains the employee of the NYPD Jerry Maddi.

Police also visited a family at home. 8 Jun 38-year-old Domingo Diego Tapia, the father of two children, was riding his bike home when he was attacked. The man fell, hit her head hard and fell into a coma. Still he never recovered.

«Esther, wife of Domingo, is going through difficult times, but today she and her boys were happy,» says a family friend.

«It’s so exciting. A good feeling. I’m glad to be a part of this and proud of the Department,» says officer Michael Hertrich, «spider-Man».
